Pollutants emitted into the atmosphere from stacks and ducts may include particulate matter, gases, fumes and vapors. The type and amount of pollutants must be quantified to:
Evaluation requires representative and accurate emission data. Emission measurements and sampling are therefore performed in terms of specific and validated test methods. Test methods can be industry specific and originate from various sources, including:
We offer accredited emission testing and analytical services around the globe. Our experienced professionals can cover all sizes of project, using the latest instrumentation, including sophisticated isokinetic samplers and state-of-the-art flue gas analyzers, to monitor all regulated pollutants, including criteria pollutants and volatile organic compounds. These include:
We also have extensive experience of performing calibration services on CEMS, which collect real-time data for various parameters (O2, CO2, CO, NOX, SO2 and THC). These must comply with the latest regulations (e.g. US EPA and EU), such as:
Our global network of sampling teams and laboratories, accredited at local and international levels, provide quality results, giving you greater control over your sampling. In addition, our operations in Belgium (Institute for Applied Chromatography) and North America are recognized as some of the world’s leading laboratories for dioxin and furan testing. With SGS you can be confident your production processes will be thoroughly examined to control and reduce the release of these substances.
